Special Education is one of my top subjects! I have 10 years of experience in special education with a masters in special education. I recently relocated to ft collins and am looking to help someone with special education classes in any way i can until i get a full-time teaching job.

I use positive rewards systems in my classroom. I also feel effort is the most important element of success when working with students with disabilities.
I have been teaching special education for 10 years. I started in Henderson, NV where i taught in a co-taugt setting. I taught English, reading, and science. Furthermore, I taught in a resource class setting for 2 years. Moreso, I taught 8 years in Carson City NV. I taught English in a co-taught setting and English,reading, and study skills in a resource room. I also have experience in a inclusion setting. This is where special education students are enrolled in a general education class with special education supports. I did that for 2 years.

Tutor with 13 years experience

I'm an environmental engineer who has been tutoring for the last 13 years. I enjoy working with children and excell at working with children who might be struggling with comprehension or who have learning disabilities. I have experience working with children who are ESL or ELL. I have worked with elementary, secondary and high school students.
Make learning fun and everyone wins! Not all children absorb material the same way. I try to explore different ways of presenting material and working through concepts to relate the material to something that can be understood.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I try to discover each student's particular learning style to help them successfully enjoy the learning experience and maximize his/her learning potential. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in establishing mutual respect between the student and teacher. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate materials and active-learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.
I have taught elementary school in Colorado for 34 years. I have basically taught 2nd-6th graders, and taught a middle school class (combination 6th/7th/8th) one year. The past sev ... read more

My disposition is professional and conscientious yet patient, warm and enthusiastic. I have an easy rapport with children and teens. I enjoy the challenge of discovering the unique ways that each individual student learns and adapting my teaching style accordingly. I believe that every student is intelligent and can enjoy learning when they find the ways that work best for them. My goal is to make education interesting and fun while fostering confidence and motivation in the student.
My history of experience equips me with the skills to tutor children and teens in reading and writing. While earning a degree in fine arts, I gained much experience in writing about my work as well as writing critically about other artists' work. Later, I spent a year teaching grammar school children in after-school programs, helping them with homework and facilitating creative projects. I also sp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My role as a teacher is always multi-faceted. I am patient, compassionate, and consistent. I strive to inspire life-long-learning and find what motivates each of my students. My students gain confidence as they achieve small goals and then reach for new and just a little more challenging goals. Self-esteem increases with each accomplishment--especially the tasks that seemed just out of reach. It is important to me to take into account each student's learning styles, interests, and strengths when planning the activities and skills toward learning goals. My students enjoy collaborating in their learning plan whenever they can.
I love teaching and have experience working with elementary students of all ages and abilities. Compassion is one of the most important traits of a teacher and helps me draw out even reluctant learners. Motivation is one of the most important traits for ... read more

Teaching has always been my passion and I was excited to earn my bachelors degree in secondary education at the University of Northern Colorado in December of 1998. Teaching at Longmont High for three years allowed me to develop many teaching skills and gather a variety of experiences and ideas. After teaching social studies, I decided to try tutoring from home while learning to be a new mom. Our district cirriculum has provided many opportunities for me to tutor students in high school math (and other subjects) for five years. I enjoy getting to know each student personally and feel I am doing what I was always meant to do. The one on one time has been very beneficial for both myself and my students and I have gained a greater understaning of how students learn and find success.
The more time I spend with kids, the more I realize how many different ways they learn. Kids have taugh ... read more

As each student is unique, my teaching style is eclectic and tailored to the individual student as to how they best learn. Having a degree in Psychology gives me the unique opportunity to understand the individual, present them with techniques that promote better study habits, and increase their retention. I have dealt with situations of dyslexia, test anxiety, panic attacks, and challenging home/lifestyle situations, and have met with those challenges with success. As part of my continuing education I have taken a graduate class in Meta Cognition which is all about learning, learning styles, and how to create the best environments.
As a nontraditional student at Casper College in Casper, WY I augmented my tuition costs as a peer tutor for two years specializing in Biology, Anatomy, and Psychology. I have extensive experience in writing research papers, and interpreting case s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

The learning style of the individual is a strong factor in how learning takes place. Focusing on the strengths of the individual rather than their weaknesses is the foundation I begin with. Relating the subject matter with the individuals' interest in mind builds their self-esteem, which in turn opens more doors to achieving success in their efforts.
My experience includes 25 years teaching experience in a variety of settings working primarily with elementary grade students. All throughout my teaching career I have provided one-on-one tutoring for my students. I also have experience teaching private swimming lessons with ages ranging from 4 to adult. In the area of special needs, I tutored a Down Syndrome young man for 2 years while transitioning from high school to daily life. We worked on various skills from reading to learning to ride a bicycle. I worked at integrating his stren ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an undergraduate, I became very passionate about the sciences and graduated with a BA in Chemistry with a minor in Psychology and Biology. During my collegiate years, I Peer Tutored for General and Organic Chemistry laboratories and held review sessions for these courses. During my latter two years, I also tutored at the Writing Center, acting as Lead Tutor during my senior year.

I also acted as an assistant teacher for a Language Skills Development course, leading a critical thinking module for small groups of college students.
All students possess the ability to achieve academic success; however, many are unable to identify a streamlined path. I have worked with a wide range of students and have learned from each one a new teaching/learning style. On ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It wasn’t until my boys started school and I spent time in their classrooms that I realized I had a passion and an aptitude for working with young students. I was hired by the Boulder Valley School District in 2007 as a para and soon after was working one on one with special needs students in kindergarten. This realization prompted me to re-enter the college scene as a graduate student, which I finished this December.
I do best working one on one with students or in very small groups. I like to get to know my students. This helps me determine how they learn and how I can make their experience as useful as possible. Also, its more fun to do work with someone that you respect and understand.
